"Hello Little Girl" was recorded at Abbey Road on 3rd July 1963, and produced by George Martin. The Beatles were present at the sessions.
On 17th July 1963 Gerry and the Pacemakers also recorded a version of this song at Abbey Road, but nobody was happy with Gerry's version, and it was The Fourmost's that was selected for issue. Gerry's remained unreleased until 1991 !

This song was recorded by The Beatles at their decca audition of 1st January 1962. Although it has often been bootlegged it didn't officially appear until 1995 on Anthology 1.

"Hello Little Girl" is one of 20 songs that can be found on the essential E.M.I. album, The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away.
